There’s nothing more frustrating than having to spend half your wage on skincare. But what if we told you there’s a way to knock £35 off one of the UK’s most loved serums?
With thousands of rave reviews online, it’s been hailed ‘the best anti-wrinkle treatment’ on the market and people have gone so far as to say ‘it’s better than botox’.
On the serum’s website, one five-star review reads: “This is one of the best products I’ve ever used! A total game changer for your skin.”

Another customer agreed, adding that people have asked if they’ve had botox. “I'm so glad I discovered this product,” they wrote. “I've been using it for nearly a year with incredible results. It's so effective, I've had people ask me if I've had botox. I haven't.”

A third wrote: “This product is AMAZING. I’ve tried multiple brands and nothing compares to it. It has cleared my skin completely and has helped me to prevent wrinkles. Incredible product and worth the price. Also, it lasts forever! It’ll be in my routine for the rest of my life.”
What does retinal do?
Not to be confused with retinol, retinal is one of the most powerful ingredients in the anti-ageing game. Also a form of vitamin A, it reportedly works '11 times faster' than retinol and is a gentler take on the ingredient. An everyday hero on the bathroom shelf, it's designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots. Retinal can also improve skin texture, unclog pores, and stimulate the production of collagen. That’s what we like to hear.
However, retinal makes the skin even more vulnerable to UV rays, so it’s important to wear suncream, no matter the time of year.
How to use retinal as a beginner
If you’re new to retinal or retinol, it’s important to start slowly with a low dose to avoid redness and irritation. It’s widely recommended that you use the ingredient once an evening every week before slowly building up to twice a week - until daily use is achieved.
How to get money off the viral anti-ageing serum
The viral serum in question is the Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6. A gentler form of retinal, it's globally renowned for its brightening, smoothing effect and is currently on offer as part of the brand’s new Nighttime Renew gift set, which is worth £124.

The limited edition bundle contains a full-size Crystal Retinal 6 and Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye 6, which are priced at £69 and £55 respectively. That’s a huge saving of £35. It’s a great chance to try the Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye 6 if you haven’t already, as it’s famed for reducing the appearance of crow’s feet, fine lines, and puffiness around the eyes. Make sure to hurry, Christmas is coming, and these will make excellent stocking fillers.
